Why did coinage, tyranny, and philosophy develop in the same
time and place? Marc Shell explores how both money and language
give "worth" by providing a medium of exchange, how the development
of money led to a revolution in philosophical thought and language,
and how words transform mere commodities into symbols at once
aesthetic and practical. Offering carefully documented
interpretations of texts from Heraclitus, Herodotus, Sophocles,
Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, and Ruskin, Shell demonstrates the
kinship between literary and economic theory and production,
introduces new methods of analyzing texts, and shows how literary
and philosophical fictions can help us understand the world in
which we live.
